Excerpt from The Christian Program
The answer to the first question he gives in his creed. This may be anything, the baldest materialism, the most seductive pantheism, or the most reverent Chris tian Theism. It will yet be his creed because it answers the first question. It might seem consistent to say that the answer to the second question is his system of ethics. But for the purpose of life, systems of ethics are too abstract, too unreal, too extended, and therefore they find their place in dry volumes on library Shelves and not in human lives. It will be more cor rect to say that he answers the second question in his program of life.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relevance of a universalistic Methodist program for Christian life as conceived by the author. The author argues that Methodism, as a revival movement, was not primarily concerned with establishing a denomination or creating a new creed but rather with re-emphasizing the importance of a well-defined Christian program in daily life. This program, consisting of principles such as harmlessness, unworldliness, humaneness, aggressiveness, and devoutness, is presented as not only consistent with Christian teachings but also applicable to all humanity irrespective of religious affiliation. The author contends that a Christian program that encompasses these principles provides a comprehensive and effective approach to living a purposeful and ethical life, especially in the face of contemporary challenges.
